CHATHAM COUNTY. N. C. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25. icm THE LEGISLATURE This Legislature ha3 not lost much time in useless debate, but seems to be a body that is anx ious to work. While it does not contain many men of well-known ability and experience, yet on the whole it is a conservative body and its members are dis posed to do right. , More lobbying is being done in connection with the proposed new counties than about any thing else, and the new-county question is being discussed more than any other. The question of creating only one new county (Lee) attracted more attention and aroused more interest than any other in the Legislature of 1907, and therefore it is natural that the question of creating three or more new. counties by this Legislature should arouse much interest and attract much attention. There seem3 to be very little opposition to the ere ation of Avery county out of parts of Mitchell, McDowell and Caldwell and that bill maybe passed, but there is. very strong opposition to the creation of the other proposed new coantie3. Yesterday afternoon . and until nearly midnight- last night the committees of the Senate and House on counties, citie3 and towns held a joint meeting for the purpose of hearing the advo cates and opponents of the pro posed county of Hoke, which is proposed to be formed out of parts of Cumberland and Robe son. Large delegations were present from Cumberland and Robeson and much interest was taken in the discussion, but the committees reserved their decis ion, which may be made in a day or two, or they may wish to hear further debate before de ciding. . Several bills have been Intro educed to increase salaries, but none as yet have been passed, but all are referred to the com mittee on appropriations to be considered together. One bill is to increase the Governor's sal ary from $4,003 to $3,030 a year, and this bill will probably be passed. Other bills are for in creasing the salaries of the La bor Commissioner, the Adjutant-General-and the State Librarian, but wo hope none will be in creased. As long as the State's revenues are less than the ex -penditures it is not prudent to be increasing that deficiency by raising the salaries of officers, unless they are grossly inade quate. Bills have been introduced for bond issues for various purposes, ail of which should be carefully considered and the necessity therefor duly discussed. If, af ter careful consideration, the Legislature finds a necessity for passing a bill providing for the issue of bonds for any purpose, of course it should be passed, . but allsuh bills should receive most careful consideration. One bill is for the issue of one mil lion dollars worth of bonds to construct an administration build ing at Raleigh for the use of the Supreme Court, the Agricultural Department, &c. A bill was rushed through both the Senate and House, enrolled and ratified in one day last week. It was to prohibit the shipping out of, the State live quail (or partridges as they are commonly called.) HO. 24. t ie war and not "Southern Con- fa Jeracy," 'as it -13 generally called. ' lne mo3t distinguished men at the North now call our war "the iivil war" and no longer speak of it as "the rebellion." Even the Republican Presidents Mc Kinley, Roosevelt and Taf L all designate it as "the civil war" and so do the most prominent Union soldiers who fought in that war. 'We. would not now, in urging this amendment to our constitution, discus? tha right or the expediency of the secession movement, but simply will say that it was not a rebellion. The Revolutionary War might more truly and appropriately be called a rebellion, bjcausa the Cilonies were dependencies of Great Brit ain and our Revolutionary fore fathers were subjects to that government and King George was their "liege lord." This proposed amendment to our constitution should be adopt ed without any political or parti san division, and we are much pleased to commend the support given it by Judge Ewart, the Republican leader in the Legis lature. In a speech made by him at the Lee birthday exer cises in Raleigh last week he urged the adoption of the pro posed amendment and declared that the term "rebellion" was unjust, false and offensive'' and should be stricken from our constitution. THE LOBBYING NUISANCE. A bill has been introduced in he Legislature to prohibit im proper iobbying and to abate what some members call a great nuisance. Nearly every State in the Union, except North Caro lina, has a law forbidding lobby ing and our State ought to have one regulating if not forbidding it. At nearly every session a bill for that purpose is intro duced but the "lobby' has thus far been so powerful as to de feat it, just as will probably te he fate of the pending bill. The successful fight heretofore made by the lobbyists against such bills is the strongest argument for the passage of the pending bill ! From a recent editorial in the News and Observer urging the passage " of the pending bill against lobbying we copy the following: "It is all right for an attorney o accept employment to draft a bill or appear before a commit tee, but the practice of camping in Raleigh to lobby for pay is reprehensible and disgraceful, and the Legislature should not delay putting its seal of condem nation upon it, The exrmember who is retained to favor or op pose any measure pending ought not to accept the privileges of the floor extended to ex-mem? bers, and if any fails to under stand the impropriety of accept ing this courtesy for the purpose of lobbying, he should be legis lated against." Letter from Lieut. London. (Continued fro n last week.) We copy the following extracts from a letter written to his pa rents here by Lieutenant J. J. London, U. S. Navy, while at sa on the voyage from England to Cuba, and dated January 8th: "The world is a small place after all While in Paris I ran into a friend of mine, Wessel, whom I knew well in Shanghai. He is a Dane and was on his way nome from Shanghai, and had Jtopped in Paris for a few days. L had leftliim in Shanghai last Alay, and at that time he didn't snow he was coming home this winter, and I didn t know I would be in Europe. The chances that we should meet again should oe oneliT a thousand. But as I wa3 waiting for my train at Jharing Cross station in London ne night, who should I run into igain but the samj man. He lad just arrived from Denmark. "Again, I ran across an old tcquaintance in -London. You emember my writing from Lima, ?eru, in 1908, how much I en joyed the society of the people I net there. Well, a few days be fore I left Gravesend I received i note from a young lady who was then living in London and whom I met in Lima in 1903. She leard that the Georgia was at -i i i - j j i jraveseiiu aim auuresseu me shere, not knowing that I had )een detached from the Georgia n the fall of 1903. and had by iccident rejoined her la3t 0:to )er. I called and rene wed a very oleasant friendship. "Several of the officers had out off their annual physical te3t mtil the end of the year, so that Dhey had to take it on this cruise, fwo from this, ship walked their 50 miles through the county ot ssex, stopping for the night at vayside inns, so that their test lad soma degree of interest at tached. The names of the tav- irns are typical of England, as 'Tne Lion," "The Bull," and ne I noticed particularly, - "Tne Live and Let Live Inn." I took only one day for sight seeing in London, though at oth- jr times I noticed many pecul- anties of people and places. On this day I visited three places whicn every visitor to London, io doubt visits the Westmins ter Abbey, To wer of London and it. Paul's cathedral. Ijwas es pecially interested in the regalia ind armories of the tower. The egalia contains all of the crown jewels, including the crown of che king and of the queen of ngland. In this set are two diamonds as large as a hen's egg and each worth over $2,003,033. In the armory are samples of armor and coats of mail, both for horses and rider, worn since the Crusades. In this collection are also all the weapons of offense and defence used by man since the earliest ages. In Westmins ter Abbey are ouned the kings of England, since El ward the Confessor, the founder of the abbey. In a separate part of the abbey are memorials to states men, authors, composers, mili tary and naval heroes and scien tists. Very conspicuous among these is that of William Pitt, earl of Chatham. After I had visited the tower and abbey I re gretted that I had not refreshed my memory on English history. It was hard forme to realize that I was standing on the very spot where Lady Jane Gray, Ann Boleyn and others were behead ed, "I was interested in the trans portation facilities of London. They have no streetcars, but use immense motor and also horse drawn busses.

The 4uestions are sent out by the State department of instruction for all the counties; hence a large clas3 of second grade teachers, and unexperienced, are now employed, a larger number than ever before in this county; out to their credit, I will say a number of them are doing excel lent work 3om3 of them are do ing better work than some first grade teachers. No doubt the present Legisla ture will pas3 an act allowing committees to pay second grade teachers a maximum salary of $30 per month instead of $25 as now is done. But how are we to increase urst grade teachers' salaries? Principally by local taxation. But with better pay and with all th2 teachers that our higher institutions of learning can fur nish us, we shall need more teachers. Whence are they to :)in2? Largely from our own county schools, by training them in our own county teachers' in stitutes, teachers' associations, teachers' reading circles, &2. Following up the interesting and profitable institute of last summer, we wish to have teach ers' associations and meetings, ind a large teachers', reading ifrcle this year; to that eni the following county teachers' asso ciations have been called: At Pittsboro on Saturday, Feb-' ruary 4. 1911. At Mt Vernon Springs graded school, Saturday, February. 11th. At Merry Oaks, Saturday, Feb ruary 18th. we have arrange J to hold these teachers' meetings in these three parts of the county for the convenience of those who live inconvenient to Pittsboro, and hope all the teachers of the coun ty will attend as many- as they can; they are for all the teach ers of the county, and all are ex-- pected to attend one or more oi these.
